DVD Review: "Playing for Peanuts"
by Jennifer on Dec 30, 2008 1:43 AM EST
on Athletics Nation
While trying to figure out how the heck Jon Zeringue spells his name (for my TLAS Game post), I came across Playing for Peanuts, a blog about a television show about a team (follow?), the South Georgia Peanuts, in the first (and quite likely, only) season in the South Coast League. After being released from the Diamondbacks and signing with the A's, Jon played 26 games under Wally Backman for the Peanuts.
Like the players in the series, this show and DVD had many struggles. A little summary of the events Playing for Peanuts went through:
1. The show began airing on eight regional networks in May.
2. SportsNet New York refused to do any promoting of Playing for Peanuts.
3. John Fitzgerald, the producer, director, and DVD distribution department, decided to pull the series from all markets in late July.
4. The Chicago market still wanted to air the series, so in October, the show returned to SportsNet Chicago.
5. Chicago aired the ten 30-minutes episodes, but won't re-run the series because they aren't interested in second run programming.
6. John now feels like the show is dead to television.
It's a long, sad story. You can read more at the Peanuts Blog, and at the new Peanuts site at MVN.
To read up on some of the players, production news, etc., you can also visit the Peanuts myspace, you know, if that's your sort of thing.

September QOTM
by Jennifer on Oct 1, 2008 8:01 AM EDT
on Athletics Nation
Sadly, as the 2008 Oakland A's season ends, so does another year of QOTM. Never fear lovely readers, unless something terrible happens (I'm talking about a Ryan-Dale-Travis trade to the Pirates), QOTM will be back next year around the time pitchers and catchers report.
Stay strong. Stay funny.
To the quotes!

by sourstuff
Is Kurt cute? I had no idea.
by iglew
As an NRAF without the mlb.tv package I don’t have much else to go on.
Someone should make a special AN picture gallery with one nice portrait for each player. Then we can look at that instead.
The gauntlet was thrown. down.
BEHOLD! "Nice portraits" for each player.

Have Ticket - Will Travel: Texas League AS Game
by Jennifer on Jun 27, 2008 11:36 AM EDT
on Athletics Nation
186 miles of this:
It was like a leisurely Sunday drive... for 3+ hours. I discovered I have way too many Garth Brooks songs in my iPod. I swear, every other song was one of his. Garth just isn't my type of driving music.
I just noticed there is a dead bug on my dash. Huh.

4/21/08 DLD: Day Off Fun Dump
by Jennifer on Apr 21, 2008 12:13 AM EDT
on Athletics Nation
Yeah, yeah. I'm sure no one else gives a crap, but I'm doing this dump, damnit. There isn't an A's game today and we just swept a three game series against the Royals, so let's just have fun and enjoy the day off. Feel free to add your comments, links, iPod selections, etc.
I'm getting this out of the way early because next week is going to be busy at work... and it's actually the 21st in ET. Deal with it.
